Last Saturday was the third anniversary of Dr. W. W. Hartsell’s stay at the Makeever House, and a number of his friends gave him-a surprise party in honor of the day; but, of course, the inevitable call to go ten miles into the country, to attend an urgent case, carried the Dr. away before the evening was half over. That is what a man gets for being a doctor. The old phrase of “Marrying in haste to repent at leisure” will have to be slightly amended to suit the case of Sherman A. Havens and Estella GXJondra, who were married in Rensselaer, in January last. Their marriage was in truth a very hasty affiar, but their repentance has not been at all leisurely. They went to the home of the groom; in Shelby county, a few weeks after their marriage and in less than two months the youthful bride forsook her bridegroom and returned to het friends, in this place, and we now see in a Shelbyville paper that Mr. Havens has applied-f or a divorce.
